Year 2016, location USA, company name: Terrafugia. The American authorities recently granted the company Terrafugia permission to test a flying car on the territory of the USA, this having the code name TF-X and being in the development process for launch in approximately 5-7 years, if the process continues according to the plan.
According to the manufacturers, TF-X is a electric car, and at the moment she is able to offer a autonomy of approximately 500 miles, or 800 kilometers, but the big difference between it and classic cars is that it should not touch the road when the driver decides to use it.
Although it will have wheels and can be driven on public roads, TF-X will be able to take off and land vertically, and the driver will need a fairly large space, approximately equal to that of a tennis court, for this procedure to be carried out, so not everyone will be able to enjoy using such a cars.
Flying cars are becoming a reality
creators TF-X at the same time, it is also developing a special program that will allow drivers to learn in just two days to take off and land with their own cars, the flight made by them being completely autonomous, considering that learning to fly is not really that difficult easy for ordinary people.
If you have the space on your own private land, you can do that. Or what may be more common in suburban areas is a local shopping plaza may create a vertical take-off area that maybe you pay a toll to use. When you get to that pad you would still have to get out and do a pre-flight inspection. [Then] you'd tell it where to go, it would check the weather and for any temporary flight instructions... and then it would suggest a route to the final destination.
A few months ago I found out that he was one of the co-founders of Google invests in the development of flying machines, but those from Terrafugia could be the first to bring such a product to the market, but it is not known what kind of experience it will offer compared to other possible similar devices.
It is very clear at this point that everything we saw in movies 10-15 years ago will become reality in the next 10.
